# Know where I can get a 3rd gen hood (more)

Posted by Matt (02 WRX / 96ZJ) on September 19, 2003 at 12:55:38: A friend of the family bought their son a white 91 Maxima. He was in an accident recently which crunched the hood and made the latch inoperable, which later resulted in the hood flying open at freeway speeds (twice) and breaking the windshield. The lesson here is that duct tape will not hold your hood closed. Anyway, they are looking for a new hood for the car, I've told them to check the local junk yards. Anybody on here, preferable west coast, have a hood they are looking to get rid of? - Matt VE30DE and EJ20 powa! Replys: Het Matt.. (Re ground on the WRX) Jacob ('03 WRX) 13:26:01 9/19/2003 (16) I ran one new ground wire... (more) Matt (02 WRX / 96ZJ) 03:00:06 9/20/2003 (0) What size were the cables? how long? connectors? Matt (93SE) 14:41:02 9/19/2003 (8) You think using a 8awg for the battery ground is good enough because it's an add on? n/m Jeff92se (92se) 14:49:35 9/19/2003 (7) 8 awg minimum. 4 would be best, but sometimes it's hard to do. --> Matt (93SE) 15:01:50 9/19/2003 (6) So why did you run all your grounds to the head? n/m Jeff92se (92se) 15:28:54 9/19/2003 (1) Block/head, what's the difference?! :) --> Matt (93SE) 15:42:17 9/19/2003 (0) So maybe in my case... Jacob ('03 WRX) 15:16:54 9/19/2003 (3) Personally, I wouldn't mess with the body ground, but it definitely can't hurt. nm Matt (93SE) 15:27:10 9/19/2003 (2) On my car.. Jacob ('03 WRX) 16:18:48 9/19/2003 (1) gotcha. nm Matt (93SE) 16:19:59 9/19/2003 (0) wrong Matt? nm DanNY (91SE) 13:40:51 9/19/2003 (5) No thanks.. nm Jacob ('03 WRX) 13:46:03 9/19/2003 (4) great! nm DanNY (91SE) 14:16:08 9/19/2003 (3) sweet! n/m Kaleb (Black '93 GXE 5spd) 14:38:21 9/19/2003 (2) DUDEEE!! nm DanNY (91SE) 15:02:15 9/19/2003 (1) SWEEEEEEET! nm Jacob ('03 WRX) 15:17:18 9/19/2003 (0) I have a hood Matt. But damn, shipping?? n/m Jeff92se (92se) 13:11:33 9/19/2003 (2) BTW. Your car is coming long nicely.
